System Features
Modified, Thinner Anterior Flange
A thinner anterior flange helps avoid overstuffing and is designed to address the female population鈥檚 unique need for shorter medial and lateral condyle heights compared to men.3
听
Increased Trochlear Groove Angle
鈥淭his enhanced tracking angle has proven particularly useful in female patients, who account for approximately two听thirds of PFA recipients and who often have an increased Q-angle, dysplasia and patellar subluxation preoperatively鈥︹4
听
Proprietary Guided Milling System
A simple instrument, eliminating challenges and errors presented in freehand techniques.5听By referencing native cartilage to determine听varus/ valgus placement, the intercondylar region of the implant is flush with surrounding cartilage to help avoid impingement of the patellar component.
听
Compatible Patella
The PFJ Prosthesis is compatible with Gender Solutions Natural-Knee庐鈥疐lex, and NexGen庐鈥疭tandard All-Polyethylene, Porous, or Augmentation Patella.
Benefits
Compared to TKA
- PFA is associated with shorter postoperative rehabilitation6
- PFA is associated with better knee kinematics in the sagittal plane听due to听the preservation of the tibiofemoral articulation, menisci, ACL and other supporting ligaments6
- PFA patients showed better functionality, less blood loss and greater return to activity7
Flexible Solution suitable for Bi-Compartmental Knee Arthroplasty
- The Gender Solutions PFJ is compatible with the Persona庐听Partial Knee,听the next generation听in fixed bearing partial听knee design听with听97.3% patient satisfaction at 2 years8
- The highest failure mode for PFA is progression of osteoarthritis to other compartments2
- Bicompartmental knee arthroplasty (BKA) is a viable solution for many patients where the trochlear component after PFA is well-fixed and functioning, but there is progression of disease to either the medial or lateral compartments
- Early clinical results have shown excellent pain relief, knee function and restoration of appropriate knee alignment with BKA9
